Chapin used them in his Gran Prix Columbus deck. It was a Survival deck, but it goes to show it can have a use past Grim Lavamancer. It's useful when you can't afford to be destroying your own graveyard.
Also its casting cost is pretty stompish-friendly. I wonder games where you go turn 1 Ancient Tomb, Painter naming blue, turn 2 Spinal Villain ( I have a REB and a Pyro too, in hand.)...I only have 2, need to find some more.
Are you into Jazz? Have a look at the Lp's I have for sale on Discogs!
Guide, sure, but Decree's not too tough. Treachery, on the other hand, is a nightmare.Originally Posted by dahcmai
I was just looking at him the other day and I could've sworn he was under $2!
I think it is ridiculous how some cards can be so much money. Wizards has this high and mighty attitude towards their customer base with the stupid reprint policy. Like I get it, maybe printing duel lands is a bad idea, but why can't the print fetchable duels like they did in ravinca again? or reprint FoW which isn't even on the reserved list.
Mind you I do complain about this, but I have spent many years on my collection and I still find it outragous. this is why I live by this policy. I buy a new set, and the singles i want to keep and then binder the boxes and trade out the butt for legacy cards. or sink the high end stuff in for credit or cash and get it that way, amazingly it actually turns out to be cheaper that way than anything else.
Here's an interesting tidbit. I don't know if this is going to be a trend of what, but it sure got my notice.
Ok, there's this little promotion where if you buy Duels of the Planeswalkers (some video game), you can get a voucher to take to a store and they give you a foil Frost Titan, Inferno Titan, or Grave titan, depending on the platform you bought it for, Steam, PC, Xbox. Anyway, does this strike anyone as odd how they decided to print every titan, but the money mythic Primeval as a promo now?
You know, I keep seeing this happen a ton. Jace the Mind Sculptor is a big money rare. What's the odds he gets a reprint in M12? I say virtually none. I'm starting to think there's a policy in place to keep the "Collectability" in the cards as far as money rares go. It seems anything that gets too high up in price is totally ignored for reprints from there on out. Eh, maybe it's just me, but it sure seems weird to choose what they do for these promos.
Enjoy your FNM in April as you get that stupid Eldrazi instead of the older cool FNM promos like Brainstorm, Wasteland, Swords to Plowshares, and Enlightened Tutor. See the trend? It's starting to get on my nerves.
Lookit!

This is a bit crazy. $35 for a common, with mirrodin pure's expansion symbol....
You might be wrong there.
All of those are from Zendikar, with the exception of Garruk. And if they had included Nissa Revane, they would have needed Nissa's Chosen as well, which might be what they averted. I think Jace and friends are going to be in the next two Core Sets, just like the Lorwyn 'Walkers were after being printed.
What??? I didn't go to game day but I have a bunch of friends with these floating around in their junk boxes. I'll have to let them know. I can't imagine such a useless card will ever be worth more than they are now at the prime of the hype.
I'm glad gideon is going down in price then. I've been wanting one for some casual decks, but not for the price hes running because of standard. I'm actually happy about this. Same with Sorin, but not as much.
I didn't see it anywhere here:

And you've been harping on Spinal Villian this long and you didn't even think of it in Painter? Isn't that the whole point? XD
I agree about it, but having a ton of Italian versions around, plus it being so narrow, I don't see it ever being much higher than it is now. But then again the "speculation prices" are often irrational.
The Faerie Macabre is the thing that took it's spot in the deck later on. That was the Villain's spot. Though he did say the only Merfolk deck he played later on was Saito and it wasn't all that hot against him.
I don't play painter much. I only play Control or combo. Works pretty good for control. It was best in Survival though.
a 35 dollar common that has a symbol on it for Mirrodin Pure, since mirrodin pure won't exisit it becomes a highly collectable piece. since there are a very limited number of this card. since only the stores who participated in games day, and there was only two cards given to each store with each symbol. Look at the blue hurrican for example its roughly 5000 dollars? why because it is limited in run and print so it drives the prices up. this card is collectable for that very reason and it's only sitting at 35 on ebay at the moment. so it wouldn't surprise me this fetching near or around 40-60 dollars momentarly. Since even wizards said one card will be in, the other will be out.
So will the Talisman be allowed in Eternal formats? or has there been no word... curiosity mainly.
Of course it will. What a silly question.
so... people still blaming SCG for price spikes?
Troll and Toad is currently buying NM Wastelands for $60, and NM Force of Will's for also $60. They are buying every dual for more than SCG, except for Volcanic.
LOL, that's hilarious. Anyway, I'm waiting to see the bubble burst and laugh at the stores who can't clear their inventory buying at such high rates. Either troll and toad has done the calculations to make sure they clear their potential stock with this buylist (probably making marginal profits since I don't see people paying more than $70 for a regular Wasteland anytime soon) or they are just trying to see how much they can get away with this price hike.
My guess is T&T has Wastelands in stash, put up an inventory of empty wastelands, and then see how people respond to their buylist and slowly release Wastelands out to sell at the $80 margin, when they have stocks of Wastelands they bought at $20-40. at least if I were any non-SCG vendor, this will be my reaction to making money out of the hype.
Decks that I care about:
Steel Stompy
UWx Landstill
Dreadstalker
DDFT (10% practice)
Mangara on MWS? You must be masochistic. -kiblast
Ah. That's strange that he would feature the deck in the video as a different version from the one he played in the event.
And I don't play Legacy at all, but putting Spinal Villian in Painter just seems so obvious. :)
Sad, trollandtoad used to be a website that consistently sold their chase cards for far less than SCG. Now, they're just jumping on the train; leaving very little reason to shop with them. FoW used to be $54 on t&t when it was $75 on SCG, now, FoW is $80 on t&t. Sickening.
My local store recently raised the price of Force of Will to 80$ but is still selling Wasteland for 50$. I'm guessing they will raise the price soon but they still have 20+ at that price. Is everywhere like that?
